I've stumbled upon an incredible local bar! The bartenders are friendly, and the crowd is always laid back! and enjoyable, And let's not forget the amazing food they serve, it's absolutely fantastic! It's definitely worth a visit to experience it firsthand!

The food on mamas menu stands erect, like the spine of man.

Drag your friends. Sit yourselves down at the bar, get a beer (or two or three). Crispy fried rice + chicken curry + beef rendang. That's it. That's the hack.

I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN A GOOGLE REVIEW BUT MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN SO ATROCIOUS I HAVE TO LET THE ENTIRE INTERNET KNOW. honestly i have a huge review and all in all i will never be returning to this place. i made a reservation TWO months ago and when my friend arrived to be seated (10 mins prior to our reservation time 7:50 vs 8pm) he was told that our reservation didn't exist. we waited about 20 minutes before we had to approach the owner that our reservation existed and was told that they would compensate us by creating a "space/table" for us by the front door until the back opened up (keep in mind, I TEXTED AND CONFIRMED A RESERVATION AT THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE weeks before). after almost an hour of waiting in a cramped corner (past our reservation time) for a table, we were seated in another cramped corner with no regard except for a supposed "free jameson" shot. after nearly TWO HOURS of waiting for a table that we were meant for, we finally found a table in the back (please note, this table was achieved only because we asked the existing party if they were available because they were leaving). we were supposedly going to be compensated by "getting fucked up" because the owner didn't honor my text reservation. however my bill was ultimately $600 for 9 people, now this doesn't seem too bad, but the moment we started leaving the bar was when things went awry. there were multiple people at the bar harassing us because we got a table before them (something we well deserved because of our TWO MONTH ADVANCE RESERVATION). we were served supposedly completely shots but at the end of our night it seemed that the only things were discounted for were our jameson shots (that were fucking disgusting and we did NOT ask for). this place played us and i'm so upset we fell for it. please don't support this business, in all of new york city there are significantly better dive bars to go to. unfortunately we were tasked with going to this place on a friday night for birthday, and i would EASILY recommend any dive bar in NYC that is NOT fish market. Please do not go here and support the staff that is clearly racist and misogynistic. we unfortunately did not get the real image of fish market until tonight.

We paid $19 for 5 shrimps and almost no fries (at first it was only 4!! Then they brought a lone shrimp over to make up for it?). It’s simply overpriced for what they serve. The wings were good I

Fat man behind the bar is on a power trip. He expects a tip for poor service while being rude to his customers, then kicks them out when they don’t tip. Only go here if you don’t have respect for yourself.
Great dive bar with excellent food, can’t go wrong having a night

In my opinion: my experience with this place gets worse by the visit. I remember the food being delicious the very first time I went and I have been bringing my friends to the place but unfortunately have not been able to get a table since then. I was once told they had no more table seatings even though a group of 5+ customers were leaving their table. Some bartenders should pretend better that they enjoy working there lol. If you appear young, expect a negative demeanor.
Denied my completely real vertical ID (I am 24 years old). Super sick!

Horrific customer service. I am 24 years old and was kicked out of the bar for having a vertical ID. I told the bartender I could hand him every card in my wallet to prove that I was myself, but that wasn't good enough. Horrific.

Food was so so flavorful (get the fried rice!!!) and atmosphere was unbeatable. Great vibes, fun staff and overall company.
